Abstract
⺠Distributions of n-alkanes and n-fatty acids (FAs) in representative modern plants round Lake Qinghai were determined. ⺠Average chain length (ACL) of the C16-C32n-acids was significantly different between terrestrial (23.3) and aquatic plants (18.6). ⺠Results suggest that the FAs in the surface sediments originated mainly from aquatic input. ⺠More attention should be paid to input sources and their relationship with other proxies in future studies of lake sediments.
